You Don’t Have to be a Genius…

… is the title of an exhibition which finished today at the Williamson Gallery in Birkenhead. I went to see it yesterday and really enjoyed it. 2005 was Einstein Year and the World Year of Physics and this was a collaborative exhibition involving 16 artists who have responded to some aspect of physics. Apparentley Einstein said “The greatest scientists are always artists as well”
